Chris - The “Let’s encrypt” subscriber agreement (current version 1.2, 15 Nov 2018) includes "indemnify and hold harmless” clause, and parties affirmatively agree to those terms by requesting that ISRG issue a "Let’s Encrypt” Certificate to you. (I don’t know whether that process is particularly more or less onerous technically than the effort to download the ARIN TAL.) FYI, /John John Curran President and CEO ARIN
